Abstract: The production and use of industrial, agricultural and consumer products lead to the emission of emerging pollutants into the environment such as engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). Concerns arise over the possibility that ENPs might pose a threat to the environment, including drinking water and food supplies, but also provide great opportunities in plant agriculture. Investigations of ENPs are still hampered by the absence of suitable analytical methods that are capable of detecting and quantifying them in complex matrices and at very low concentrations. This knowledge is urgently needed for risk assessment and regulation. This talk will address opportunities and specific aspects concerning the detection and fate of nanoparticles and microplastic in agriculture.
